Sacramento Kings vs Brooklyn Nets Single Game Parlay February 14 2022

The Sacramento Kings come into this game as favorites, which is somewhat unfamiliar territory this season. They’ve had a tough season, currently 22-36, and are facing a team that was expected to be legendary this year. The Kings will take on the Brooklyn Nets, a team that is currently on an 11-game losing streak. The question is, can the Nets take advantage of the injured Nets here. 

We’d love to attribute all of the Nets’ struggles to injuries, but we can’t. In fact, there is a multitude of problems surrounding Brooklyn, it’s just injuries are the most prominent. The good news for the Nets is that they’re beginning to add players back to their lineup. A few key guys will make their way onto the court for Brooklyn tonight. So, where should you place your single game parlay bets?

Game Preview: Sacramento Kings at Brooklyn Nets

In terms of health, the Sacramento Kings are in a good position. The only player listed as questionable is Jeremy Lamb. These offenses are nearly identical; the Kings averaged 110.16 points per game, while the Nets average 110.95. The difference here is that the Kings have put a few wins together. They’ve won two straight with wins over Washington and Minnesota.

The Brooklyn Nets will likely have two of the three players they traded for on the court tonight. Seth Curry and LaMarcus Aldridge have both been upgraded to “probable.” With them on the court, the Nets have a much better chance of winning this game. They’ve come very close to beating the Heat and the Wizards over their last two games. 

Against the Spread: Brooklyn Nets +3.5

We know that this might sound crazy, but the Nets aren’t a bad basketball team. They’re going through some pains right now in terms of injuries and cohesion. Having players like Seth Curry and LaMarcus Aldridge will definitely help the current lineup. Curry can stretch the court and shoot well from beyond the arc. Aldridge and Claxton should grab rebounds easily. 

We’ll also note that Sacramento has the 29th ranked defense in the NBA. They allow an average of 114.79 points per game, and this is perfect for the Nets. Sure, it’ll likely be a close one, but the Nets are getting 3.5 points. While they’re still underdogs, it’ll be smart to add the Brooklyn Nets to your single-game parlay.

The Total: UNDER 227.5

Although the Kings’ defense is pretty awful, we still think this game will go under. The total is set pretty high here, especially for teams that have struggled offensively. Over their last ten games against each other, the total has gone under six times. This season, the Sacramento Kings have gone 7-19 when playing on the road. 

The Brooklyn Nets have found the total going under 15 times out of 26 games at home. Considering each of these teams is having a scoring problem, this game will likely go under. Adding this to your ticket will definitely boost your winnings tonight.  

Win Margin: Brooklyn Nets 1-10 +230

If you’re already taking the Brooklyn Nets to win the game, you might as well add the winning margin. The odds are set at +230 for the Nets to win by 1-10 points. We know that some might not think the Nets can pull this off. However, you have to consider the players they’re adding back into their lineup today.

This season, Seth Curry is averaging 15 points per game with four assists. LaMarcus Aldridge is averaging 13.4 with 5.6 rebounds per game. Just by adding these two players with Nic Claxton returning provides a boost to the Nets. Andre Drummond will also help the Nets interior against Domantas Sabonis. Don’t count the Brooklyn Nets out to win this game. 

Player Prop: Demontas Sabonis OVER 18.5

While the Kings lose this game, their new big man shows why they picked him up from Indiana. Sabonis gets to 20 in this game. Take this as part of your Single Game Parlay for Monday!
